Further to this now historical thread, how about a
DG box containing all of the Orpheus Chamber Orchestra's recordings of Haydn Symphonies? From what I find on Amazon, there were a total of 14 symphonies on 6 discs. Since several of the discs were fairly short measure, I suspect that they would all fit on 5 discs. A worthy reissue, IMO.

Better idea : all of the DG Orpheus Chamber Orchestra recordings,
maybe in 2-3 boxes.

I wouldn't argue :) And I see that my post, which I had thought did not go, did, so forgive the coming repetition.

Even better idea - they should record more stuff - especially Haydn.

Some things I'd like to see reissued in my lifetime.
- The old Melodiya recording of Shostakovich's Symphony No. 15 with
Maxim Shostakovich conducting. Why isn't this out yet? Did Melodiya
destroy the master tape when Maxim defected?
- A good remastering of Mitropoulos' CBS recording of Shostakovich's
10th. The old CD remastering was dreadful.
- All of Robert Craft's Schoenberg, Berg, and Webern.
- Sylvia Kersenbaum's lovely recording of Tchaikovsky's Piano Concerto
No. 2 with Martinon. Maybe the finest recording ever of that piece.
Best of all it uses the original version.
- Charles Munch's recording of Bach's Brandenburg Concertos.
- Gieseking's recordings of Mendelssohn's Songs Without Words and
Grieg's Lyric Pieces.
- Scherchen's Bach. (Especially the St. Matthew Passion.)

Ditto for the Szell Walton 2nd The Masterworks Portrait edition is poor.

The wonderful Scherchen Matthew Passion as been reissued a couple
times on CD. Wagner fan

The Scherchen SMP (maybe the most dramatic I have heard, despite some curious tempi, i.e. the slowest final chorus I have encountered) is available from Tahra. Older issues (MCA, Millenium) might be found 2nd hand.

His 5th came out on Melodiya/BMG. I have the 15th on a Melodiya/Angel
Lp, and it is really fantastic.

Megadittoes.

This was a quad recording, so it could be done as a multi-channel
SACD. Stereo playback of the quad LP sounds a bit phasey.

Yes, plus Barshai's *original* recording of the 14th. I have a silly theory that these items are always next on the reissue agenda of each iteration of Melodiya before it gets sued out of existence by its rival claimants....

Indeed, yes -- so far, most of what we've gotten has been Gould, Gould, and Gould, with a few other items along for the ride in the Original Jackets series, plus the Brahms-Schoenberg Piano Quartet, thanks to the brief reign of Gilbert Hetherwick in the post-Gelbian glow. I'd really like to have every last thing from the series available on CD. In particular, I miss those little choral canons.

I could almost swear this was in a 2CD set of all the concerti on a French EMI issue that I once saw at the Virgin Megastore in Burbank (which dates it quite a bit).

These haven't been issued in Japan yet!?

I used to have the Connoisseur Society LP, but I never got around to replacing it with the CD reissue.

But what we really want are 4-channel SACDs of the EMI Quad
recordings. Too bad Pentatone cant get into the act since EMI doesnt
seem to want to do it.
